I'm actually proud of myself for making a "car appointment".
I had been putting off calling Northern Toyota for weeks. Literally. I was terrified to call them and not know what to say or how to tell them what I need. I know absolutely nothing about cars so my fear was to come across like a complete doofus.
Lucky I spoke to a nice LADY which seemed to make things easier. So tomorrow I am bringing my car in to get a block heater installed, my headlight fixed and an oil change.
Just in time too. Today it started snowing at 3:30pm and by 6:oopm the streets were covered in a thick layer of snow. Let's hope the car starts tomorrow morning.
It's a good thing I'm getting the block heater put in tomorrow....the HIGH for Friday is -17. And the low - a humid -23. Yay.

Don't worry, Heather - women are not *supposed* to know anything about cars. All you need to do is find a place where you can trust the people not to take advantage of you. So far, Northern Toyota seems to be OK. Also, there are many, many men who know little or nothing about a car's inner workings either [me, for one].
don't sweat the cold weather, after all, once it gets below -15, there's not much difference in temperature until it gets to -30. So, once you're used to the feeling of -15 you'll be fine. And that's what mitts and scarves are for!
